Queens Pimp Slapped By Firmer Hand of Law
Earlier this week, Queens resident David Brown was found guilty of sex trafficking, kidnapping and other charges in Queens Supreme Court. Apparently, Brown paid his ex-girlfriend $2,000 to "purchase" a woman and posted nude photographs of the victimized 19-year-old on Craigslist—and he's the first convicted under former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's strict sex-trafficking law. Instead of facing a maximum of seven years, Brown will face 25 years in prison when sentenced in January. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown (no relation!) tells the Daily News that his "office continues to use every tool allowed under the law to prosecute dangerous individuals like this defendant and to seek justice for victims."
